Mcloed single disk with a LT4 PP. Re use stock flyhweel. Than there is the mild ram clutch (HD i think). And the spec stage 2+, all are around 4-500 and will get the job done with 325rw

I have a RAM Heavy Duty on a bolt on only car and suspension and it has been more than drivable and good for about 600 ponies.

If I have a minor bent pushrod would this be enough for me to loose a lot of power. I can't make my tires chirp or scream.
